I would like to make an urgent appeal to runners, who have secured their own place in the Flora London Marathon 2009, to join the Children’s Trust team – the official charity of next year’s famous event.
The Children’s Trust, which will also be celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2009, aims to make it a memorable event, by recruiting 1,000 runners – its biggest team ever.
It is a great opportunity for runners to help make a difference to the lives of some of the UK’s most severely disabled children, including children with acquired brain injuries, who receive care, education and therapy at the trust.
As a result of money raised through the marathon, the charity is hoping to reach out to help more children.
If you have your own place in the Flora London Marathon 2009 and have not made a decision on which charity to support, I urge you to sign up now and help the Children’s Trust to achieve its goal of 1,000 runners. By doing so, you will be helping to enhance the lives of some very special children.
To find out more please visit: thechildrenstrust.org.uk/londonmarathon or telephone 01737 365018.
Thank you!
ROGER BLACK MBE
On behalf of the Children’s Trust
